let P be that point
slope of given line is -2/7
so slope of line from P to (0,1) is 7/2
and since (0,1) is the y-intercept,
its equation is y = (7,2)x + 1
solve the two equations to find P
use substitution, i.e.,
2x + 7((7/2)x + 1) = -4
etc
i found x value of P how do I find the y value of P?
sub it back in the original equation.
